A Little Taste of Paradise!

We officially had our first family vacation. And we are planning for one next year already! So, yes, the trip was a success. Thanks to my Aunt Cheryl, Aunt Brenda, and my mom for watching Keegan to allow Kevin and I to have some adult time.
Keegan had many "firsts" on his vacation. He had his first airplane ride. He did well in the plane with only about 15 minutes of crying. The rest of the time was spent playing and flirting with whoever was walking down the aisle! He also had his first experience with the beach and the ocean. He was in the Gulf of Mexico and playing in the sand without hesitation. He spent countless hours in the pool playing with his rubber fish and sitting in his inflatable car. He was able to meet his GreatGrandparents! They were tickled to meet him and loved to watch him play and laugh.
Our overall experience in Florida was such a positive and relaxing one! We hope that every year we are able to travel with family to get away from the everyday grind and really focus on what life is all about...family!

The next Beckham!

Keegan's babysitter is a junior at Copley High School. She loves Keegan and Keegan adores her. We have gone to a few of her soccer games this season. We suprised her today at an away game. I ordered a shirt for Keegan and as you will see in the pictures below he looks pretty cool!Lexi was thrilled when she saw Keegan. I think it really made her day when she saw his shirt. Copley was winning 1-0 when we left at the half and we hope they beat Revere tonight! So, if you are wondering where I got this idea for the shirt...I can not take any of the credit. Actually, it goes to my parents. When I was a toddler they made me a shirt that stated "My dad is... The Ref!" My dad has been a high school wrestling official for over 30 years and that is what I would wear when I would go to his wrestling tournaments. So, the tradition continues....

75 and Sunny!

Yes I love the summer. But I will have to admit that a day like today is not so bad. A day without humidity but with sunshine is a great day. I always thought I would love living in the south. But, after only one year in Georgia I realized I was not the Southern Belle I thought I was destined to be. By living in the heat it really made me appreciate the change of seasons. The change in the weather is like starting a clean slate; writing a new chapter. You change your wardrobe, you change your activities, etc. Keegan apparently enjoyed the day also. He was perfectly content riding in his stroller watching people mow their grass, watching the dogs in the neighborhood, and watching the kids get off the school bus. We took an hour long walk and he was having a great time.
